I think the devs know at this point people are gonna keep using it no matter what for the foreseeable future.
How else are you gonna talk to you friends? You really wanna be “that friend” who forces everyone else to download another program and make a new account?
They’ll only fix issues if it shows up on a financial report.
Though I don’t know if discord uses this specifically or rolls their own. Discord seems to auto update just fine until it’s time for a bootstrap update.
Lol … I never update it until I need it because I noticed it is perpetually updating. I only ever use it maybe one or twice a month so I don’t update it until I actually want to use it.
You clearly don’t have Discord.

That shit has so incompetent devs that they’re updating the fucking .deb file instead of using the internal updater to push every update.
An entire update used to be something worthy, now it’s all worthless.
That’s all handled by Electron, which doesn’t support the auto updater on Linux.

Ok but why so many bootstrap update when the most basic shit like “screen sharing with audio” is broken?
There’s a secret json option to disable bootstrap updates. The flatpak turns this on.
